Losing skid is over, but Presentation's next opponent, Concordia, will offer tough test

There's a tough opponent coming to Aberdeen Saturday, but the Presentation College football team certainly deserves a moment to savor last weekend's victory.

With a convincing 29-6 road win against Luther College, the Saints snapped a 23-game losing streak that dated back to November 2019.

It was an emotional and exciting moment, said Presentation head coach Steve Heimann, who admitted he broke down a bit during a post-game interview.

"I jokingly said that in the middle of the fourth quarter I couldn't coach anymore, I was useless," Heimann said Wednesday.

Luther mascot trophy broken after victory

The Saints have trophies with the opposing schools' mascots on them. After a win, the trophies are broken. The Norse trophy was destroyed Saturday much the way the Luther football team was.

"The guys got me with the water cooler, which was fun," Heimann said.

And then it was a seven-and-a-half-hour bus ride back from Decorah, Iowa, to Aberdeen.

A happy haul, but not exactly party central.

Heimann said Presentation played complimentary football against the Norse. When the offense was struggling, the defense came up big and vice versa.

Heimann's first few season at Presentation were rough ones

He and his staff took over the football program at the end of June 2019. That's pretty late in the game to get a team prepared for fall. A 51-35 win at Mayville Sate was the lone victory that season, which was followed by a strange 2020 COVID-19 season. Last year, he said, felt like the first normal year for the coaching staff.

The last few seasons have been rough ones, Heimann admitted.

Now, he hopes the Saints can build off of a win. The triumph should be a confidence builder for a few weeks, Heimann said. He said it offers players evidence that the coaching staff's concepts work and helps build belief. Confidence and belief are traits the team might have been lacking, he said.

Saturday, the Saints face Concordia College-Moorhead, a traditionally strong opponent. That's the reward for last weekend's win.

The Cobblers are 1-0 after defeating Valley City State 14-12 on Sept. 1.

Concordia features up-tempo offense, physical defense

Concordia is a big, physical, disciplined and well-coached football team, Heimann said. The Cobblers try to run an up-tempo offense with lots of screens and quick passes, so the Presentation defense will have to be ready for that pace, he said.

The Saints aren't the biggest team on the defensive side of the ball and rely on stunts and blitzes to badger the opposing quarterback, which will be important Saturday, Heimann said

On defense, Concordia is sound and physical, he said, and Presentation will aim for about a 50/50 split of running and passing.

The Saints will need to be better on special teams and finish drives to hang with the Cobblers, Heimann said. Against Luther, Presentation had a 20-play, 96-yard drive that lasted more than eight minutes, but resulted in no points. The coach took blame for deciding to go for it on fourth down from the Luther one. After an incomplete pass, Presentation turned the ball over.

However, the defense took advantage of Luther's poor field position and recorded a safety. Then, after the Norse kicked off, the Saints scored a touchdown to take a 16-6 lead into halftime.

Sophomore quarterback Kaeden Frazier passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns against the Norse and was named the North Star Athletic Association offensive player of the week.

Kickoff against Concordia is set for 7 p.m. at Brownell Activities Complex, formally Swisher Field, at Central High School.

Northern hits the road against Wayne State

After a resounding season-opening victory, the task also gets tougher for the Northern State University football team this weekend.

The Wolves will play at Wayne State at 6 p.m. Saturday in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action.

Northern opened with a 30-0 victory over Upper Iowa on Sept. 1 at Dacotah Bank Stadium. The Wildcats downed the University of Mary 33-28 Saturday in Bismarck, N.D.

The game was close throughout, but Wayne State sealed the victory when running back Anthony Watkins scored from 10 yards out with 1:46 to play.

To say the Wildcats offense was balanced is probably an understatement. They collected 196 yards rushing the ball and 195 passing and will pose a greater offensive threat than the Peacocks did.

However, the Wayne State defense yielded 451 yards to the Marauders, including 300 in the air. It was only one game, but that number was not likely missed by Northern head coach Mike Schmidt, first-year starting quarterback Michael Bonds, the receiving corps and the rest of the staff.

After struggling last fall, the Northern defense was dominant against Upper Iowa. Wayne State should help the Wolves better sort out just how much the D has improved since the 2021 campaign.

ESPN’s College Football Playoff MegaCast Returns, Nearly 40 Presentations Of New Year’s Six Games

In honor of scoring a touchdown and extra point, here are 6+1 things to keep an eye on during kickoff weekend and beyond.

One of the most-anticipated college football seasons in history is finally here. ESPN will present approximately 1,000 regular season games across all platforms, readying for the return of a 40-game Bowl Season schedule that includes the exclusive presentation of the College Football Playoff Semifinals at the Rose Bowl Game Presented by Prudential and the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and concludes with the CFP National Championship Presented by AT&T on Monday, Jan. 8, at NRG Stadium in Houston.

There are nearly 60 games slated to kick off across ESPN platforms in Week 1 , beginning Thursday, Aug. 31, and running through Labor Day Monday on ABC, ESPN, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, Big 12 Now on ESPN+, ESPN+, SEC Network+ and ACCNX.

In honor of scoring a touchdown and extra point, here are 6+1 things to keep an eye on during Kickoff Weekend and beyond:

1. Access, access, and more access : Coming in 2023, ESPN is taking fans where they’ve never been before. Viewers will experience “mic’d up” head coaches and star players in pregame, head coach interviews in the first and third quarters, halftime player interviews, locker room access, handheld cameras on the field to bring out the quarterbacks and following scoring plays, and more.

2. ESPN+ boasts its biggest season yet . With more than 150+ FBS games , 500+ total college football games, and 20 conferences featured, ESPN+ is a must-have for college football fans.

3. The connection between ESPN and fans defines our studio coverage : a. College GameDay celebrates its 30th season of going on the road with a refresh of the iconic opener, ‘Coming to Your City.’ The Cadillac Three, Darius Rucker, and Lainey Wilson put their spin on Big & Rich’s anthem, debuting ahead of the Week 1 show (Sept. 2, 9 a.m. ET, ESPN).

b. SEC Nation is commemorating its 10th season with a Week 1 double feature of SEC football starring two shows in three days: Columbia, Mo., (tonight, 7 p.m., SECN) and downtown Nashville (Saturday, Sept. 2, 10 a.m., SECN).

c. For the first time in ACC Network history , two of ACCN’s signature programs, ACC Huddle (Saturdays, 11 a.m. – noon, 6:30-8 p.m.) and ACC PM (weekdays, 4-7 p.m.), will travel to game sites each week this fall. ACCN welcomes Week 1 coverage with six games and ACC Huddle road shows in four cities.

4. Texas at Alabama in Week 2 receives the alternate telecast treatment , as Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show continues ESPN’s industry-leading second-screen innovations. As always, ESPN’s signature MegaCast presentation will be prominent in both the regular and postseason, with multi-platform productions blanketing select marquee regular season matchups, the New Year’s Six, College Football Playoff Semifinals, and the 2024 CFP National Championship.

5. Some of the biggest showdowns and conference clashes are set for ESPN and ABC this fall : LSU/FSU, Texas/Alabama, Red River (Texas/Oklahoma), and Notre Dame/Clemson, plus Championship Weekend featuring the ACC, American, Big 12, MAC, Pac-12, Sun Belt and SWAC Championship Games.

6. ESPN is the home for the most comprehensive coverage in college football. In the first three weeks of the season alone, ESPN platforms will showcase 100+ live CFB games.

Presentation College picks up first football win since November 2019: Sports roundup

Presentation College picked up its first football victory since Nov. 2, 2019, whipping Luther College 29-6  Saturday in Decorah, Iowa.

On their second drive of the game, the Saints got on the board with a 23-yard pass from Kaeden Fraizer to Laurenz Plummer to take the lead. Luther responded on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Beau Cornwell to Diego Lopez to make it 7-6 after the extra point was missed.

From then on, it was all Saints.

Isaiah Lawson had two interceptions and Presentation tacked on a safety to take a 9-6 lead. Then, Frazier found DJ Coston on a 20-yeard scoring strike to make it 16-6 at halftime. 

Teagen Sever's 12-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter salted the game away. He also made the tackle resulting in the safety.

The Saints last victory before Saturday was 51-35 against Mayville State. That was Presentation's only win in the 2019 season. A 23-game skid followed before the commanding performance against Luther.

Frazier, a sophomore, completed 26 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Coston carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards. Cameron Sheppard finished with six catches for 79 yards.

On defense, the Saints were led by Severe, who had 10 tackles and an interception. In addition to his two picks, Lawson added three tackles. Sam Motzkus added seven tackles, including a sack.

Luiz Ferreira kicked two short field goals for the Saints late in the game to account for the final score.

Presentation (1-1) hosts Concordia-Moorhead at 7 p.m. Saturday at Brownell Activities Complex.

NCAA approves 2-minute warning in college football games, helmet communications beginning in 2024 season

The ncaa approved sweeping technological changes friday that will take effect this season.

The NCAA on Friday approved several rule changes that will take effect during the 2024 season, including the implementation of coach-to-player helmet communications and a new two-minute rule that mirrors the current time system utilized by the NFL. These changes were proposed by the NCAA's Rules Committee in March amid support from some of the nation's most prominent conferences . 

The helmet communication rule applies only to schools at the FBS level, but it is not a requirement. Additionally, one team may employ helmet technology even if its opponent elect otherwise.

Coaches will be allowed to communicate with one player, identified by a green dot on the back of their helmet, on the field. That line of communication will be turned off with 15 seconds left on the play clock or when the ball is snapped, whichever occurs first. 

On top of player-to-helmet communications, teams can now use tablets to review in-game video only. Schools will be allocated 18 tablets that can be utilized in the coaching booth, on the sideline and in locker rooms. 

Other changes approved by the NCAA Friday include: 

• Penalizing horse collar tackles that occur within the tackle box as a 15-yard personal foul. 
• Allowing conferences the option to use a collaborative video replay review system. 
• Head coaches can now conduct interviews with broadcast partners after the first and third quarters conclude. 

The NCAA used the 2023 postseason as a trial run for its technological changes with several teams utilizing helmet communications in their bowl games. Several schools have incorporated the technology in their spring games, as well, while teams acclimate to another wave of major change. 

Last spring, the NCAA approved a running clock on first downs, except in the last two minutes in the second and fourth quarters. The new two-minute timeout rule falls in line with that change and also serves to alleviate potential back-to-back TV timeouts from broadcasters. 

"The two-minute timeout will allow all end-of-half and end-of-game timing rules to be simplified and synch up with this timeout," Steve Shaw, secretary-rules editor said March when the changes were initially proposed. "This will also help broadcast partners to avoid back-to-back media timeouts."
